Howth — Never Gave You My Guitar lyrics

Lyrics

Never gave you my guitar
I never gave you my audience
& now that it’s too late to repent
I’m gonna sit here & sulk
Never gave you my left ear
I never gave you my right 1, either
& now that you are in the ether
I buy my Kleenex in bulk
Sure, I could play «Sweet Jane» or «Heart & Soul»
But the quarter notes don’t make me whole
Need a left hand to play to my right
Sure, I could play «Sweet Jane» or «Heart & Soul»
'Fore the liquor finally takes its toll
Think I’ll cover Leonard Cohen, & call it a night
Never gave you my money
I never gave you my company
& now it may be too late for me
I hope that god’s got the time
Never gave you my guitar
& I hope that wherever you are
You’re living it up like a rockstar
W/ Jimi, Janis, & John
Sure, I could play «Sweet Jane» or «Heart & Soul»
But the quarter notes don’t make me whole
Need a left hand to play to my right
Sure, I could play «Sweet Jane» or «Heart & Soul»
'Fore the liquor finally takes its toll
Think I’ll cover Leonard Cohen, & call it a night
Think I’ll cover «Famous Blue Raincoat,» & call it a night
